How I became a single mom
Some people may wonder why I am a single mom. That answer is simple, my husband and I had a difference of opinion three years ago, and he thought he could have a girlfriend and a wife. I am not one to share my possessions or those I love dearly so he was told to hit the road.
We got married back in 1986, so this was a long-term marriage. I thought we would be one of those couple who would make it. I was wrong, and that is because he could not leave the alcohol alone, but I am so sure the mental illness played a huge role in that. Self-medicating is a huge part of mental illness and well alcohol was his choice.
It is funny looking back in our early days of marriage. He said he would love me until the end of time. He was full of presents and romance. It was wonderful and I felt like a queen you know. A bad thing called bipolar which is a mental illness that was once called manic depression claimed the life of my husband. Granted that man is still very much alive, but the essence of him is gone.
